Monolith to Modular – The Devil is in the Dependencies

TALK 1:

Abstract:

In modularising a codebase, whether moving to micro-services or Java 9, or just seeking to improve development agility, the challenge isn’t the technology change. The hardest problem is identifying and extracting modules of code out of the monolith.

This session presents tried and tested techniques for migrating a monolithic code base to a modular architecture using Structure101 "Studio" and "Workspace". The key to understanding the refactoring required lies in the dependencies between the monolith and the code to be extracted. These dependencies also drive planning and estimation which is critical to the success of such structural refactoring.
